Mono Lake Sunrise
The sun comes up over the distant ridge, silhouetting the Mono Lake tufas.
The Mono Lake tufas form because of an underwater chemical reaction of calcium rich fresh water springs bubbling up in the carbonate loaded lake leaving a calcium carbonate salt deposit called tufa. In time these springs form the vertical towers we see today.
